All elements are stored in the hash table (no pointers).
If a hash slot is full, then probe other slots using the probe sequence until a slot is found or no slot can be found (overflow).
The hash function now becomes h(k,i), where i ranges over {0,1,..,m-1}.
h(k,i) returns the ith probe in the probe sequence.
The entire probe sequence must be a permutation of {0,1,..,m-1}.
